What you need to know

  • Razer pioneered 8,000Hz polling rates in high-end wired gaming mice in 2021, raising the bar for mouse accuracy and responsiveness.
  • Wireless HyperPolling has been limited to 4,000Hz for a while now, but parity was reached when Razer figured out how to enable 8,000Hz polling on the wireless Razer Viper Mini Signature Edition earlier this year.
  • Today, Razer announced that it's planning on expanding support for 8,000Hz to more of its premium wireless gaming mice.
  • During the next few days, players can expect their mice to receive firmware updates enabling 8,000Hz polling rates through the HyperPolling wireless dongle or Mouse Dock Pro.
